||| FROM DIANNE MACONDRAY FOR ORCAS MASTER GARDENERS |||

On October 19th. a small contingent of the Orcas Master Gardeners harvested Mason and Leaf Cutter Bee cocoons from nesting materials at the Orcas School garden.

The group cleaned up the cocoons for winter storage and fed any parasitic insects to the school garden chickens. The cocoons will be returned to the garden come spring.
